Singalong tracks, singing guides and lesson plans for primary schools
Six of the songs are available with just the orchestral track (no chorus vocals) for schools to download and use in conjunction with an educational package for their own assemblies and in-school productions, in which children sing along with the orchestra. Includes:
● Song-learning videos – a package of high-quality video resources, with an animateur at a keyboard teaching the songs line by line. This is aimed at empowering non-specialist teachers and those who lack confidence teaching music in the classroom.
● Lesson plans – detailed lesson plans are available to accompany each singalong track, providing creative and fun activities linking to the KS1 and 2 music curriculum, plus cross-curricular suggestions.
All educational resources are freely available, without charge.

If your children are inspired to draw or paint a
picture while they listen to FIRE!, why not send in their
masterpieces? We may be able to include them in a YouTube presentation of the show. Whether it's the flames, King Charles II, a big parmesan cheese or St Paul's Cathedral that catch the imagination, encourage them to get it on paper and send it to us!
